Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Insolvency Service procured an external print management service for large-scale printing that cannot be completed internally. The requirement covers the management and delivery of printed matter and related products, classified under CPV 22000000. Services are to be delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a service contract rather than a purchase of printing equipment or general office supplies. The buyer is The Insolvency Service, a UK public body based in London. The appointed provider is responsible for supporting the organisation’s printing needs where internal capacity is insufficient, including arranging or managing the production of substantial print runs and associated printed products. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although participation is not reserved for them.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 8 May 2026 at 5pm. PSL Print Management Limited was awarded the contract on 7 July 2026 for £712,000 including the full stated contract value; the estimated range was £534,000 to £712,000. The contract runs from 7 July 2026 to 7 July 2029. The award is active and the contract has been signed. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The award covers the external print management service for large-scale printing that cannot be produced internally, with delivery across the United Kingdom. The selected supplier is PSL Print Management Limited.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates established public-sector demand for outsourced management of large-scale printing. Businesses best placed for a future requirement with The Insolvency Service would be specialist print management providers able to coordinate substantial print production that an organisation cannot complete in-house. Relevant capability includes managing end-to-end print requirements, sourcing or overseeing production, maintaining reliable quality and delivery controls, and supporting printed matter and related products across the United Kingdom. A credible competitor should be able to demonstrate sufficient operational capacity for a sizeable public-sector account, dependable supplier and production management, and experience delivering consistent service at scale. The requirement’s stated suitability for SMEs indicates that a well-organised smaller specialist may also be capable of competing.
